2 Thessalonians 1 - The Orthodox Jewish Bible(TOJB2011)

1From Sha'ul and Silvanus (Sila) and Timotiyos.

To the Kehillah of the inhabitants of the city of Thessalonika, the Kehillah in Hashem, in Elohim Avinu and Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua Adoneinu,

2Chen v'Chesed Hashem to you and Shalom from Elohim Avinu and Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua Adoneinu.

3With continuous hodayah (thanksgiving) we ought to make brachot to Hashem concerning you, Achim b'Moshiach, as is fitting, because your emunah is increasing abundantly and the ahavah (agape) every one of you has for the other is growing.

4Therefore, we ourselves glory in you in all the kehillot of Hashem for your zitzfleisch (patience) and emunah in all the redifot (persecutions) and the tzoros you are enduring.

5This is kluhr (obvious) that here is a manifest siman (sign, indication) of the yashar mishpat (righteous judgment) of Hashem intended for you to be deemed worthy of the Malchut Hashem, on behalf of which also you undergo yissurim.

6Indeed it is tzaddik (a thing examined and found to be right) for Hashem to repay with tzarah (tribulation) those who bring tzarah (tribulation) on you,

7And to recompense you, the ones suffering tzarah (tribulation), with revachah (relief) along with us at the Apocalypse of Yehoshua Adoneinu from Shomayim with the malachim of his oz (power)

8BELAHAVEI EISH (in flaming fire), giving Onesh to the ones not knowing Hashem and to the ones not obeying the Besuras HaGeulah of Yehoshua Adoneinu.

9These are the ones who will pay an Onesh of Avaddon Olam (Eternal Destruction)

away from the Shekhinah of Hashem UMEHADAR GE'ONO (and from the splendor of his majesty),

10When He comes to be glorified among His Kedoshim and to be marveled at among all the ma'aminim in YOM HAHU (that Day), because our eidus to you was believed.

11To this end also we make tefillos always concerning you that Eloheinu may count you worthy of the Kri'ah (Calling) and by His gevurah may fulfill every chafetz hatov (good desire) and ma'aseh haemunah (work of faith),

12In order that ha-Shem (the Name) of Adoneinu Yehoshua may be glorified in you, and you, in him, according to the unmerited Chen v'Chesed of Eloheinu and Moshiach Yehoshua Adoneinu.
